Cholesteatoma Classification: Review of Literature and Proposed Indian Classification System-TAMPFIC.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Classification systems provides a tool for segregating cases based on their similarities. It can be used by healthcare professionals for representation, comparison, communication, discussion and for standardizing treatment protocols across the geographical boundaries. Cholesteatoma is prevalent in developed as well as developing nations posing a great burden on economic and health sector. Even though systems for classification of cholesteatoma are already being used in some places, however none of them is yet universally accepted due to their complex nature. After a thorough review of the most popular systems, we attempt to propose an Indian classification system for cholesteatoma "TAMPFIC". The system is based on clinical representations and will allow us to standardize the reporting of the disease and its extension along with all possible complications in a simple and unique way and will also help in reporting surgical outcomes for the same. Reporting of surgical outcomes will not only help in comparison but will also help in standardizing treatment protocols for similar kind of cases in future. It will require multi centric approach for validating our system to reach a common consensus for defining treatment protocols. We hope this system acquires universal acceptance and presents itself as a single new tool for classification of cholesteatoma with international consensus in near future.
